Foxwoods near bankrupt - effect on Mohegan Sun

#1

FW has never been one to give easy lounge privileges and they never had easy access to hosts, or hosts that contacted you with 5k or so daily play. I doubt they will ever change that. As for giving better VP a chance again, and decent payback on their slots, I doubt that too. I remember when I used to play there alot at wee am hours, and I would see them close down a row of popular machines and change a chip or 2 in them, the machines in those rows were very popular previously, but afterwards it would take about a month and all the people seen the difference, and they would be pretty much deserted from then on. Their greed got the best of them and now they are paying for it, it is a shame as it is a great casino to visit, but no so great to play in, unless you don't mind 95% losing sessions. They are easy on giving rooms out though and always have been. I think somehow someone will come to their aid. Hehe, maybe Obama will give them a bailout too.

We cut our VP teeth at FW on 25 cent FP All American. I don't believe they were gaffing machines by changing chips and that kind of stuff. I do remember non-Nevada machines but never gambled on them. They didn't last long.

10 years ago FW WAS generous with lounge privileges and host access at about $30K/day action. FW had FP $1 plus PE, JB and Double Joker. None of this 9/6 DDB BS.

The tournament/drawing offers were VERY attractive with EV's in the range of $300-$400.
What happened at FW is happening now in most of the industry especially at Harrahs. I hope the downgrading of VP bites those Harrahs suits on their ass as well.
